Discrete Time Crystal Phase of Higher Dimensional Integrable Models
arXiv:2402.07279 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2024.129552
Abstract
This paper investigates the possibility of generating Floquet-time crystals in higher dimensions () through the time-periodic driving of integrable free-fermionic models. The realization leads to rigid time-crystal phases that are ideally resistant to thermalization and decoherence. By utilizing spin-orbit coupling, we are able to realize a robust time-crystal phase that can be detected using novel techniques. Moreover, we discuss the significance of studying the highly persistent subharmonic responses and their implementation in a Kitaev spin liquid, which contributes to our understanding of time translational symmetry breaking and its practical implications.
